Synopsis

It is the late 1800s and Brandon Percival is a handsome Bostonian who is already feeling old now that he has reached his thirties. Although he has recently suffered the heartbreak of a broken marriage, he does not lack for female companionship. He has three sisters who nag him, entertain him with the latest gossip, and fill him with good food. Brandon is especially fond of his invalid sister, Sarah. When his father announces they must take her to a drier climate to improve her declining health, Brandon agrees to leave his old life behind and head on the train with Sarah and another sister to the Idaho territory with his remaining family members trailing behind in a wagon train. When their stagecoach is robbed, Brandon and his sisters realize the Idaho territory is not without danger. But it is not until their journey ends in Boise that Brandon and the others discover their real adventure has just begun in a wild land they share with Indians. Keep on Singing shares the historical tale of one family’s adventures in the untamed 1800s west as they begin a new life filled with hope, love, and with any luck, a miracle.
